My ex has the 1.2tdi she's averaging mid 60s and has never noticed a regen so guessing it's never had the fix. I am using vag dpf now so get a warning when it's coming and how long since the last one. I would definitely swap my 1.6tdi with her the only thing better on mine is the panoramic roof

So I suppose you pedantic types don't use the forums link here on the user drop down menu ?

Yeah very easy,the 1 way valve was £3.50 on eBay,I could blow through on both sides with the faulty one, The n345 was pretty cheap also Can't count my chickens yet but I have a useable car at the moment!!

I've had 2 pretty long journeys now with no faults, also put some BP ultimate in (I know but....) The main things I've done so far is cut the ends of the n75 pipes so they are totally tight. Changed the n345 and also found the 1 way check valve wasn't working. Obviously I am not assuming I've fixed it but I want to make sure everything ( that's cheap) even vaughly connected with the egr is ok Edit and maybe more importantly I have pressed on the egr connection as well as I could just in case

Interesting, mine is similar but its always ok when its cold , I've been looking in to the function of the n345 that i changed, so i believe it holds back the egr cooling circuit until its up to temp and was wondering if connected.(but I've changed as its cheap anyway) The positive side to these troubles is gaining more and more fragments of knowledge i guess

well using a screen shot in my video i can now at least access the plug on one side, passenger side, damn that is restricted access there,

Yeah similar quotes, as regards the other simulator option..... I bled all over the engine today, I had my hand down the back think I found the lead but no way any line of sight or a chance of touching the connector even got the phone on video and couldn't see it. I have probably spent a few solid hours looking!! I may get it on the ramps and see what I can see from underneath as it happened after a new steering rack. I was in wadebridge yesterday and the VW indie ( went to Lidl so had a stroll on ) there advised me to check that connection and if I wanted a diagnostic it would be £50

yeah thanks this is awesome, i was checking routing from my n75 valve and having a screen shot of the pic came in very useful

Yeah I suppose I can be said to ignore people as I don't answer much but when I know something I will reply, or if it's a vague idea I will post it as a bump. True, people have to be in the mood. I am thinking has no one had my problem or know about it. Also it seems my ongoing problem is treated as a blog rather than seeking info ,ah well

Fair enough, if that's how it came across, but if anyone can access their egr connection on the 1.6 TDI please let me know !!!!!!! Or if they have mapped out the egr and have no regen problems again let me know or fitted an emulator,how the hell did you get that connection on. Again how much more info can I give ? Btw this is written lightheartedly and I appreciate people being frank with me

i put vag dpf on my phone today and was watching high pressure egr closing reading moving about, although i am guessing this is not the actual valve moving (i i think torque app shows this) the car drove great for 12 miles, i parked up and then limp kicked in after setting off again 2 hours or so later . At the moment i can do the roads around me fine but the motorway isn't an option my quote for a remap st1 or economy plus egr delete and blanking was £275 another guy was 100 quid cheaper but just said blanking isn't necessary and i thought it was if say the valve is stuck open.

it was an ntlworld,com i had access for a while then 1 day couldn't log in to webmail Well i posted in the Roomster section but i guess the problem would be common to the fabia with the cayc also, i am probably just in egr denial at the moment !!

Bad choice as its only part of my first name and also didn't use a capital letter, ah well never mind

It doesn't always feel that active to me when you have an ongoing problem, maybe its because i am in a another very busy forum. My latest issue for instance, the thread is just me describing the fault and adding as i go, no replies so i have got to assume that no one has any ideas above my own or apathy or other, or my wording maybe doesn't seem to directly be seeking information One thing i haven't mentioned is that i disappeared for a very long time as i had an ntlworld email address and couldn't remember my password, contacting admin on here came to nothing but finally guessed/remembered the right password Anyway going to stick around and try not to take my ball home anymore

No big suprise my fault occurred again, I can do some fair miles before it occurs and heat seems to trigger it, I just have this nagging doubt it's not egr ( Foolish hope maybe haha) How the hell some of you get the connector of the egr to fit a simulator I have no idea can't get anywhere near it, put an air filter in today and even with the air box off I just can't. Mixed messages about tuning out the egr as seeing some who have regen issues after and don't really want to remove the dpf. The last few times it happened was on overrun, I believe the torque app gives egr valve info but also maybe the n75 isn't working as it should or maybe I am on the wrong track
